Identity strategy and roadmap
Define business outcomes, control priorities, investment sequence, measures and the target identity operating model.
Identity and access management
Treat identity as
a connected control system.
MAITS designs IAM strategy, architecture and operating models across workforce, external, privileged, customer and machine identity.
Platform-aware, not platform-bound
Microsoft Entra is a major implementation capability, while the architecture remains grounded in standards, source authority, business ownership and the wider application estate.
Capability
Set direction across the complete identity lifecycle.
IAM connects who or what an identity represents, how trust is established, what access is authorised and how that access ends.
IAM architecture
Design source authority, directories, federation, authentication, authorisation, provisioning and governance boundaries.
Workforce and machine identity
Connect joiner, mover, leaver and non-human identity events to accountable lifecycle controls.
Authentication and federation
Use suitable MFA, passkeys, OIDC, SAML and trust relationships for the populations and resources involved.
Authorisation and standards
Shape roles, attributes, claims, entitlements, policies, SCIM and application integration around explicit decisions.
Identity operating model
Clarify ownership, service boundaries, governance, support, assurance, measures and improvement.
Engagement outcomes
Make the next decision and delivery step clearer.
Current-state understanding
Identity sources, flows, platforms, risks and ownership are visible.
Target architecture
A coherent control model guides platforms and programmes.
Prioritised roadmap
Work is sequenced around risk, dependencies and delivery capacity.
Operating ownership
Business and technical responsibilities are explicit.
Expected outputs
Useful artefacts for the people who must act.
Outputs are agreed for the engagement scope and written for the leaders, architects, engineers, operators and assurance teams who will use them.

From advice through implementation
Enter at the stage where support is needed.
MAITS can provide one bounded stage or remain involved across design, delivery, validation and capability transfer.
Understand the decision
Clarify the people, systems, obligations, constraints, ownership and outcome involved.
Establish current state
Review evidence, architecture, controls, risk, capability and delivery readiness.
Define the target
Set principles, architecture, policy, operating ownership and a practical change sequence.
Implement the change
Configure, integrate, automate, migrate and roll out alongside accountable teams.
Test the outcome
Review behaviour, evidence, exceptions, recovery, readiness and residual risk.
Transfer capability
Embed knowledge, governance, runbooks, measures and an owned improvement path.
Related capability
Continue with the service that matches the next decision.
